The tablet was able to do 3 fingers when 2 were started at the same time which he showed on the new IC, but didn't show that he can add all 3 individually which the tablet was unable to support. Also, he didn't show if the tablet could do 6 if started at the same time. Can the new IC do 10 (as he quotes) when added individually?]]>Jan 29th 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/Jan 29th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/
Apple designed a new OS for their computers. A new OS for their phone.

If they take their tablet seriously, and consider it a new device, why not TREAT it like a real device and design a NEW OS for the device? One that employs technology similar to what is described above? Something that could "wow" us, that could actually have been innovative and engaging.

Instead, they decided to put their phone OS that was designed 6 years ago onto their tablet "computer"...]]>Jan 28th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/

iPhones without the flash is great and makes impressive profit. Why? ... Because it is a very good PHONE - and not meant to give this "best browsing experience". This is the reason why people let the "iPhone without flash" slip because it was never designed to be a power browser.

On the other hand, Steve jobs said that the iPad will give the "best browsing experience" which will never happen because it doesn't have flash. What is the use of an iPad if you can't go to certain website that are flash dependent? Where is the best browsing experience there? Why don't you just accept that fact? Why do you keep insisting that it is OK if flash is not supported. IT IS NOT OK!

BTW, I have an iPhone which I really like. I love it because of the apps but not for mainly for browsing. That is why I bought a PC/netbook for.

Again, 8% down on iPods (not iPhone) - doesn't look like profit to me.]]>Jan 28th 2010 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/Jan 28th 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/

Case in point: Whenever you see somebody demoing a new multitouch system what are they doing? Moving moving pictures around on a screen and resizing them.

Does anybody really spend so much time doing this that we need to make it a key feature? I never spent time rearranging pictures on my desktop then resizing them before, and even with a multitouch device I never do it. I do like pinch to zoom sometimes when I don't have a mouse (scroll wheel is just as easy); same with two finger scroll up and down a page, but other than that multitouch is serves no purpose.

I think a good OS design can make use of it but currently nothing does. Apple just revealed with the iPad they won't, and third party systems like 10Gui make it too complex to be intuitive.

What is intuitive is scribbling on a pad with a pen; we've all done that since before we could speak. So why do tech blogs always feel the need to bad mouth it and gawk at somebody re-arranging and resizing images?]]>Jan 28th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/
Because in the future humans don't draw, they finger paint and they don't write, they type with their thumbs. Handwriting is outlawed as a pagan practice created by primitive cavemen.]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/
I would like to say though that the ability to track unlimited "fingers" can be expanded to say unlimited "objects". Think about what may come in contact with a large screen like that while you're using it. It's not just fingers. How about your palm? The screen needs to be able to detect the palm and "reject" it. So this unlimited tracking capability is not just about fingers. ]]>Jan 29th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/Jan 28th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/Jan 28th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/

I haven't seen any similar, so responsive and intuitive.. And I don;t understand whats wrong that its similar to iphone? This proposition is just crummy. Why should apple create new UI? It's fully fitted to touch, and its just line in the top and line in the bottom, everything else is reliant by developers.. all these and similar propositions is just stupid.. There is lacks, but Ipad it is revolutionally, wait and u will see.Sorry for my english.]]>Jan 29th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/cypress-demos-14-inch-truetouch-capacitive-multitouch-screen/Jan 30th 2010 6:03PM
